Farmer home ideals and village scandal in one piece
The piece opens with Dudley W. Adams outlining a farmer’s home ideal: a handsome house, trees for windbreak, fruit patches, ornamental grounds, rose by the door, and a cheerful interior to tempt sons away from saloons. A push for amusements and laughter as vital life elements follows. It then shifts to a Western New York village where a prominent man’s abusive treatment of his wife provokes a mass meeting and resolutions. A separate note cites a Medical Times item about a saying that smoking may curb a young woman’s vomiting and medical treatment at a hotel.
